Venue: Vitality Stadium
The Premier League rolls on, and this weekend it’s Bournemouth hosting Brighton down on the south coast. Both sides grabbed big wins before the international break, so there’s a bit of buzz around this one. Bournemouth sit up in seventh, Brighton are 11th, and both managers will fancy keeping that momentum going.
So, who comes out on top at the Vitality? Let’s take a look.
Bournemouth
The Cherries get Julian Araujo back after his EFL Cup red card, though he’s yet to feature in the league. Lewis Cook might return from his knee knock, which would be a big boost in midfield. Enes Ünal, however, remains sidelined, and Adam Smith is touch and go with a hamstring problem.
One trend worth noting: Bournemouth have been corner kings this season, racking up seven or more in each of their first three league games. They’ll attack the flanks and look to put Brighton under pressure with set-pieces.
Brighton
Brighton have their own injury issues. Mats Wieffer could be back after the break, but Solly March won’t return for another month at least. Adam Webster’s long-term absence also hurts their backline depth. Still, with Mitoma, João Pedro, and Welbeck up front, there’s enough firepower to cause problems.
Bournemouth (4-2-3-1):
Petrovic; Araujo, Senesi, Hill, Truffert; Adams, Scott; Semenyo, Tavernier, Brooks; Evanilson
Brighton (4-2-3-1):
Verbruggen; Dunk, Veltman, van Hecke, De Cuyper; Hinshelwood, Baleba; Minteh, Mitoma, Gómez; Welbeck
Here’s what I think… this one looks tight, but there are angles to play.
What do you reckon? Does Brighton’s attacking flair outweigh Bournemouth’s defensive resilience?
Bournemouth look solid. They’ve beaten Wolves and Spurs without conceding, and at home they’re a tough nut to crack. Brighton, though, come into this off the back of that huge 2-1 win over Manchester City – proof they can handle anyone on their day.
Still, away from home, they’ve looked a bit shaky. Everton turned them over, and Fulham took a point at the Amex. If Bournemouth stay compact and hit on the break, they’ll fancy their chances.
Match Prediction: Draw. Bet with bet365.
I’m leaning towards another 1-1. Bournemouth rarely score a lot, but they do create enough chances, especially from corners. Brighton will have their moments too – Mitoma and Welbeck can’t be ignored – but this feels like a game where neither side pulls clear.
Correct Score Prediction: Bournemouth 1-1 Brighton. Bet with bet365.
The stats point towards a cagey one. Bournemouth’s last two games were both under 2.5 goals. Brighton’s only high-scoring affair was against City, and even that stayed under four.
Over/Under Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a Bournemouth vs Brighton combo I like:
That’s your balance of Bournemouth’s set-piece threat with Brighton’s scoring ability, but without expecting a goal fest.
Bet Builder Tip: BTTS Yes, Bournemouth Over 6.5 Corners & Under 3.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

Brighton have the head-to-head advantage, but Bournemouth’s form and home strength suggest a draw is more likely.
Prediction: 1-1 draw. Both sides to score, neither team to dominate.
Yes. Both teams have scored in Brighton’s last three wins against Bournemouth, and the Cherries usually grab a goal at home.
Bournemouth average over seven corners per game this season. Expect them to go past six again.
